“Living in a boarding house not only allowed me to easily gain knowledge on campus, but also taught me life lessons that I can't get in my home,” she said Rosy who has been living in a boarding house for 4 years. Some students who want to continue their studies at university so far from home usually choose to live in a boarding house. However, parents still worry about leaving their children in retirement. They are worried because they can't control their children, so their children may make mistakes in friendship. Teenagers are afraid of living without their parents and leaving their comfort zone, which is their home. There are too many fears and doubts in their mind. This problem depends on how we deal with it. Everything has good and bad sides, so we are the decision makers who choose how to react to this problem. Do you only think about the negative side and ignore the positive side? Or do you think about the bright side and look for the solution to this problem? What will you choose? You can reply later. Living in a guesthouse has many benefits that people can't get if we live in our own home. Teenagers living in retirement learn to be independent and responsible for what they do. They are required not to rely on another people. If they live in their own home, they will ask their parents or maids for help. When they live in a boarding house, they have to do everything themselves, whether they like it or not. All this makes us a person who is not an obstacle for another people. “In the guesthouse, I have more freedom and authority than before living in the guesthouse,” said Yogi who lived in a guesthouse when he moved to Jakarta. Teenagers living in retirement are not controlled by adults. Parents may simply call them or visit them from time to time, but they do not know in detail what their children are doing. Their children can also use the money as they want without their parents' permission. Now, it depends on the teenagers how they use their freedom wisely or not. If they can't use it wisely, they will ruin their life. Everyone needs friends in their life to share stories, jokes or just spend time together.
